My Winnipeg

June 28th, 2008 at 9:21 am EDT - permalink

I saw Guy Maddin's latest film "My Winnipeg" at Silver City Polo Park last night. I did so for a couple of reasons: One, because I enjoy Maddin's quirky, interesting films and two, because Darcy Fehr, director of my upcoming show Identity.com is featured prominently in it. The movie is wonderful. A mix of nostalgia, rage, absurdism and outright lies, it walks a fine line that creates a different world that examines a Winnipeg underneath the Winnipeg that we know.

Small films like this don't play long at major theatres unless people come out to support them, so please, find the time to check out the show, preferably this weekend. You'll be rewarded with a unique film experience that just may change the way you look at this city.

Finally, after countless hours of work and planning along with many additional months of procrastination, brenthirose.com is live!

Here you will find information on all my latest projects, be it in the world of theatre, film, writing, voice over or whatever else should come my way. My hope is that those who enjoy my work or simply want to know what I'm up to can use this site as a resource to find out what I'm currently up to, look back on what has come and gone as well as look forward to things lined up for the future.

But, before I begin, a couple of huge thank yous: Both to Kevin Mcphillips, who put together and helped me design this site, as well as Dan Kern, whose photography shall soon adorn it all over- At the moment, it is present up top there, in the header image. Without either of which, this site would not look nearly as good.
